FAQs

What exactly are Huggables?

Huggables are high-quality, adorable, and specially designed weighted stuffed animals that "hug you back" to lower stress levels, promote deep sleep, and provide a sense of belonging for children. The thick fluffy arms double as a neck travel pillow that helps prevent neck cramps and enhances comfort on long drives or flights!

Huggables combines the emotional connection of a favorite stuffed animal with the calming benefits of a weighted blanket, simulating the effects of holding a beloved pet!

Huggables are intentionally designed to be the ultimate therapeutic calming tool, made with a special type of synthetic hypo-allergenic plush fabric that is 100% polyester material, popularly referred to as "cuddle fabric" or "Minky fabric".

How do Huggables reduce stress?

Huggables features a special design of weighted beads inside the paws of the stuffed animal. The weighted paws wrap around the shoulders of the user, creating a "hugging" feeling. This hugging sensation triggers a relaxation response from the parasympathetic nervous system and tamps down a fight-or-flight response, lowering the stress hormone cortisol and stimulating production of "calming" neurotransmitters oxytocin and dopamine, helping the user feel calm, grounded, safe, and secure.

What are the benefits of weighted pressure?

Weighted pressure, known in the scientific community as Deep Touch Pressure, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, bringing on a physical relaxation response in the body and feelings of calm and well-being. Weighted pressure has also been shown to help with focus in those with ADHD-like symptoms.

Here are a few of the studies that point to the science-backed benefits:

Are Huggables just for children?

The primary goal behind the development of Huggies was to provide a solution for children who were in need of comfort in anxiety-inducing environments, but this of course does not limit the usage to just children!

Huggables can be used by anyone who enjoys the calming feeling of weighted pressure whether neurotypical, neurodivergent, sensory-seeking, or all of the above!

How is it used?

Simply sling the weighted arms over your shoulders, snap the paws together with the sewn in magnets and snuggle it like you would to an adorable puppy! It's that easy to experience the calming sensation of a Huggable.

How to clean my Huggable

The best way to clean your Huggable is to spot clean with a damp towel and a whitening stick if available. Rubbing a towel that's been dipped in dish soap and water can also help lift oils, smells, and those tougher stains! Putting your Huggable underwater may damage the filling.
